ASG Renaissance/Blue Force Services Gives Thanks to local Military Man

Dearborn, Mich., November 27, 2013 – Thanksgiving is a time to express our gratitude to the men and women of the U.S Armed Forces who so valiantly fight to protect our every day freedoms.  As a way to say thank you ASG Renaissance’s Blue Force Services Division sent a local Westland man to West Virginia, to take part in Helmets off to Heroes sponsored by Drive Lab. Drive Lab is a unique high-performance driving experience that combines classroom education with on-road training.

Army Staff Sergeant, Brandon Saleh received an all-expense paid trip to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to take part in Drive Lab.  Saleh and 15 other military servicemen spent several hours in the classroom before venturing on to the windy racetrack, where they took their car for some speedy laps around the track. Saleh drove the stylish Fiat 500 and topped out at 80 MPH. “This was a great event that every Veteran should take part in,” said Saleh. “I learned so much more about cars and their abilities to handle speed, swerving, and braking. But the best part was seeing all the smiling faces, high fives and the excitement all the Veterans were experiencing.” Saleh was raised in Westland and is the eldest of 10 children.  The events of 9/11 drove Saleh to enter the U.S. Military to give back to his country.

During his 11 year army career, he has served two tours in Iraq and most recently one tour in Afghanistan. In between tours, Saleh helped prepare and train other soldiers for deployment overseas. Currently he is a staff sergeant for the Army’s Security Task Force, in charge of situations on the home front. Saleh is also pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree in Business Finance from Eastern Michigan University while serving as a Manager for his family-owned used car dealership and automotive repair shop. Saleh was nominated during ASG’s three-month long Helmets off to Heroes contest.
